Best case is still millions of deaths because of Elon Musk's cavalier destruction of our global health and humanitarian programs.
We did horseshoe crab conservation a couple of weeks back. Organizations flip them right side up after high tide as they often get stranded.
Elite rondo display today. Goal is not to score. If you get 200 touches without a turnover, you get a point.
Second fanfest here in Philly. More happening than Newark earlier in the week. Stopped raining which is a bonus.
So @albertsonb2.bsky.social and I stayed at a cabin with friends who had a Texas waffle iron and we rated the midterms.
This was a fun listen. Offerman as Everyman but also radical nonconformist and DIY let your freak flag fly guy.
I went on to FIFA's resell website to see if I could get 3 tickets for Germany v Curacao and three $140 tickets were selling for $500 and $780. F- that FIFA.
Foster cat went MIA yesterday in the house and we went bananas looking for her. Found her behind the oven in this space. She’s safe in our bathroom now chilling.
Still don’t believe that these first round World Cup games are worth this much. $500 a seat for people to see Germany and Curacao? www.ticketdata.com/performer/wo...
Watching Clint Dempsey bio and his Fulham years. Reminded of our recent trip to Craven Cottage which was terrific venue.
This moment won’t last forever and hopefully mid terms and term limits precede the death of Trumpism before old age. We can have hope for and usher in a better tomorrow.
It is this sowing of division and distrust of elites where the parallels are strongest.
Who has written the definitive essay likening Trump MAGA 2.0 to the Cultural Revolution in China? Have not reached that level of violence but the anti expertise, purge quality and cult of personality have some family resemblances. Listening to this.
This is a fun one. Nice to listen to someone close to my age and the life choices they made.
